Headline Indices bucked its five days of losing streak to shut shop in the green as the Nifty50 index gained 33 points amidst volatility. Further, it continues to face resistance at the 20-DMA, which is placed at 14,750 and will be a stiff hurdle to breach on the upside going ahead.
In order to trigger a short covering rally just before the F&O expiry session, bulls need to take the index beyond 14,750, which will extend the rise to levels of 15,000-15,200. On the downside 14,650-14,600 will act as a strong support zone.
Moreover, technical indicator RSI is sitting in an oversold territory on a shorter time frame suggesting that a short covering rally might be on the cards ahead of the F&O expiry if bulls manage to take the index beyond the 20-DMA resistance of 14,750.
